Chanchu has been upgraded to a Category 5 Tropical Storm! With maximum sustained winds of upto 250kph!

Good thing that it is now already at the South China Sea...

kami inabutan sa Tagaytay ni Caloy. Grabe zero visibility sa daan. Dami tree branches sa kalsada and mga yero. Kakatakot. parang delubyo.

kala pa naman namin after caloy has passed the country's AOR ok na, diretso kami galera last monday. kaso parang bagyo pa din, anlalaki ng alon (the cruiser type banca we were on almost capsized), d ka din makapagswimming kasi parang sa movie na perfect storm ung waves, may dala2x pang malalaking bato & corals sabay ibabangga ka talaga sa walls ng mga establishments along the shore. sugat2x tuloy napala namin, bwiset! sa pagdaan ni caloy hinatak na din ata nya start ng tag-ulan

went out biking last Saturday May 13 sa Sierra Madre, eto yung kuha papunta around 8am

ang lakas ng currents nung river and more than 15 river crossings yung dinaanan namin, we had to carry our bikes over our head kungdi tangay ka, temp dropped to 15 deg C and we were all wet, no effect yung windbreaker, even one biker who had gortex jacket on ginaw na ginaw

same thing yun dun sa kaibigan ko and his team na nag-touch down sa Caticlan shortly before the typhoon entered. hindi na daw sila pinatuloy papuntang Boracay coz of high waves. sobrang bad trip nga daw kasi mas ok na daw abutan sa Boracay at least puwede pa mag-party sa gabi. sobrang bored daw nila
